I'm learning some new things around meal time...

1. Roast chicken is cat food, it's just that people eat it too.

2. Never leave the butter out on the counter for even a minute if Velvet is around, or you'll have kitty-tongued butter.

3. If you have fish for dinner, eat it first, because Cleo will just pinch it right off your plate. It doesn't matter if you push her away, or yell at her, she'll just take it.

4. Expect the "twin attack"... Cleo on the left pinching chicken, Velvet on the right as a diversion, licking the sticky stuff off your bread roll...

5. Don't make your food too hot, as it's harder to steal.

6. Trying to stop a cat from pinching food off your plate is an exercise in futility. Give up. "Resistance is futile".

Very important things to learn.
